The sun sets behind the village of Hoogkerk on a summer evening. The Dutch soccer team was about to kick-off against Brasil in the 3rd place final so it was nice and quiet here at the very border of the city of Groningen.

Very close to home I witnessed and photographed today's blue hour at the Reitdiep Haven. This is a very recent part of the city of Groningen, situated in the North-West. It's well-known because of the bright-coloured houses.
